"hey leone?", a familiar voice rang out through the small rooms of their appartment.
said man hummed as an answer and grinned when his boyfriends head poked out of the door frame.
"i was thinking.. we could watch that new crime show later? it looks interesting..", bruno looked a bit unsure, still clinging on the wood of the entry.
"of course we can.", his partner replied reassuringly, standing up with a groan.
the black haired man grinned. "you're getting old."
"fuck off.", leone chuckled, "i can't help my back hurting from... carrying..... uh.."
the man furrowed his brows, desperately trying to find a good joke.
"your huge tiddies?", his boyfriend suggested, grinning devilishly.
"yOU FUCKING-"
after chasing each other through the appartment, the long haired man had quickly cornered bruno in the hallway.
"you little shit.", he murmered jokingly.
bruno let out a nervous laugh. "i just told the truth-"
without bothering to answer, leone started tickling his boyfriend, who soon begged for mercy.
"help", he breathed out between giggles, "i'm- i'm sorry i take it back-"
the taller lifted his eyebrow, briefly stopping his attack and observing his partner.
"do you really?"
brunos innocent look turned smug.
"no"
sticky fingers appeared before leone could even blink, his arms both falling to the ground, golden zippers glistening in the light.
"hEY-", he protested, but bruno had already taken his limbs and calmy made his way over to the living room, leone's only chance being to pathetically hurry after him.
around 20 minutes later, arms had been reattached, a streaming service opened and snacks lazily thrown all over the table, both men finally settled down on the couch to watch the show bruno had talked about earlier.
he snuggled closer to his boyfriend who still ignored him a little as a punishment for taking his arms.
"i only reattached them so you could hug me, so stop being petty and give me attention.", the black haired man joked, making leone laugh.
"sure thing.", he obliged, and wrapped his arms around the slim figure of his partner, who clicked play on the tv remote.
later in the night - they had been sucked deeply into the show - leone let out an annoyed grunt.
"can we talk about how fucking stupid this cop is?", he angrily whispered in the general direction of his boyfriend, "i knew from the beginning that guy killed his sister, what the fuck!"
bruno chuckled. "tell me more, officer. but first move a little, youre a better pillow than this stupid couch."
the long haired man immediately shifted his body, but then hesitated for a second.
"can i first take your pins out, though?", he glanced down on his friend, "t'makes cuddling easier."
"go ahead", bruno agreed, sitting up in his partners lap, "but you better not rip out my hair like last time."
the taller rolled his eyes. "i apologized like a million times already."
but he still steadied his fingers before gently tugging at his boyfriends hair clips, slightly distracted by bruno staring at him intently through his long eyelashes.
"..you okay?", he asked, putting the clips on the table in front of them.
"why are you so pretty?", bruno blurted out and leone choked on his spit for a second, his eyes going big.
"w..what?"
"why. are. you. so. pretty.", the shorter repeated seriously, kissing leones nose after every word.
"i could ask you the same thing...", the white haired man tried to distract from the blush quickly spreading on his face.
bruno only grinned. "you're cute when you're flustered."
"i'm literally gonna yell at you, you're doing this on purpose..", leone buried his face in his boyfriends chest, overwhelmed at the fuzzy feeling in his stomach.
"of course", the black haired man grinned, softly running his hand through the others hair, "i'm so glad we met."
leone hummed in agreement. "thanks again for... you know... everything."
"oh shut it.", brunos eyebrows were furrowed in... irritation?, "you just needed someone to believe in you, you did the rest yourself.",
too tired to argue back the taller just nodded, shifting his body, arms still wrapped around his boyfriend, so they laid more comfortable on the big couch.
"love you.", he mumbled.
"love you too.", bruno whispered back, hands still entangled in his lover's hair, while their minds slowly drifted to sleep.
